I’m taking down an EC2 instance I’ve been running nearly 5 months …
23:15:47 up 149 days, 13:02, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Up so long that it doesn’t support the persistent storage.
It took me about 2 hours to backup, bring up a new instance, and rsync things over.
Then I moved the ip (it was already using the elastic IP’s), and it’s running fine.
Adding a new 100GB disk was easy, and my old daily “backup to s3″ scripts can be changed to simply take a snapshot. Life has just gotten much simpler.
So now I need to “terminate” the old instance … kind of a harsh word for something that I’ve used daily. By-by i-6279de0b.
